Finally a few in-game screens. Someone shoot the guy at Pepsi that designed that awful web 2.0 looking logo.

The game certainly looks good...in still shot form.

360 owners take what we can get.

That looks more like a PS2 version. Are we sure these are next gen pics? I'm seriously not trying to be smart. I ask because the trailer looked much nicer than these still shots.

Just watched the latest trailer. Commentary is much improved! I'll take anyone over Jon Miller though.

I can't help but be a little disappointed in the graphics and player models. It just doesn't have that authentic feel to it, but until I play the game it's hard to take a lot from these brief trailers.

I finally got around to watching it also and I was going to skip out on the game this year but hearing the commentary with Gary Thorne makes it a buy for me unless there is a terrible framerate problem.

Xbox 360 screens. If you look at the first picture you will see (LB) and (< back).

The Icihro screen looks really good. All i'm hoping for is much improved gameplay along with MLB2K7 graphics and i'm good.

Those screen shots look a LOT nicer. Feeling more optimistic.

Those pics from ESPN look like they were uploaded as low res jpegs or something.

Another "skit" that someone at 2ksports thought was funny. Sadly it fails harder than Derek Jeter's apology.

As a Yankee fan, I won't take offense. We've gotten used to it.

pumped for the PC version! it should look sweet on a healthy system.

they did a pretty nice job with NBA2K8 for the PC so I imagine this game might also be pretty good.

Good lord McCann looks terrible. Wow. That's atrocious.

No Yadier Molina in the top ten of catchers?

No Troy Glaus in the top ten of third basemen?
